I am glad I could help!!

Hey Stephen,

I am not sure what your code looks like, but maybe I can help lead you in the right direction. Make sure you are using an element selector for the paragraphs and write css code for that selector to change the color to #000. Hopefully this helps. If it doesn't could you write your code in a comment so I can have more clarity on the issue. Thanks!

1 a { 2 text-decoration: none; 3 } 4 5 #wrapper { 6 max-width: 940px; 7 margin: 0 auto; 8 } 9 10 #logo { 11 text-align: center; 12 margin: 0; 13 } 14 15 h1, h2 { 16 color: #fff; 17 }

Here it is Matthew, the next step is- Set the color of paragraphs to black using a hexadecimal value.

It appears that some numbers were added in your code? Basically, if I am reading your code correctly, and assuming the numbers are added by accident you have to do something like what you did for the h1 and h2:

h1, h2 { color: #fff; }

You are using two element selectors (h1 and h2) and the color property to set those elements to white. For the paragraph you will want to use the paragraph element selector (p) and the color property to change the paragraph to black (#000). This would look like:

element selector for paragraph { color property: Hex for black; }

Which translates to:

p { color: #000; }

or

p {
  color: #000;
}

I hope this helps.

Thanks Matthew it worked!
